And that's jest this : The blizzard came
jest like the good Lord willed,
But it also killed the feller with his
"Fruit
Crop's
Killed !"
In April, when the sunbeam came
a-slanting in from the skies,
An'a feller saw the violets in every
sweet heart's eyes:
An'the ice had stopped its freezin.' an'
the peltin' snow wuz stilled,
We used to hear that feller with his
?.Fruit
Crop's
Killed !"
But now his day is over, an' he's gone
to come no more,
We've kinder kissed our hand to him
an' locked the kitchen door;
So, in spite of prophesying every
promise is fulfilled.
An' the blossoms are a llyin,' an'
The

Ain't
Killed!
